INTRODUCTION 


Act  No.  323,  Public  Acts  1913,  provided  for  the  publication  of  a  list  of 
books  suitable  for  township  libraries.  In  compliance  with  the  act  this  com- 
pilation has  been  prepared  by  Miss  Mabel  C.  True.  The  books  included 
are  suitable  for  high  schools,  though  not  obligatory.  This  list  supplements 
the  Preferred  List  of  Books  for  District  Schools.  It  has  seemed  best  to 
repeat  a  few  of  the  titles  found  in  the  former  list. 

Basis  of  Selection.  In  selecting  these  books  three  things  have  been  taken 
into  consideration:  the  contents  of  the  book  and  its  suitability;  the  literary- 
value  of  the  treatment;  and  the  mechanical  make-up  of  the  book.  This 
last  point  has  influenced  in  the  choice  of  editions. 

Prices.  The  prices  are  strictly  net — that  being  the  discount  price  for 
which  the  book  may  be  bought.  If  possible  purchases  shoukl  be  made 
from  local  dealers.  If  they  cannot  meet  the  prices  the  following  booksellers 
have  agreed  to  furnish  them  at  the  prices  quoted  in  the  catalogue: 

Macauley  Brothers Detroit 

J.  V.  Sheehan  Co Detroit 

George  Wahr Ann  Arbor 

The  prices  do  not,  however,  include  shipping  charges  which  are  paid  by  the 
purchaser  from  the  point  from  which  the  books  are  purchased. 

Parcel  Post.  Packages  of  books  weighing  not  more  than  twenty  pounds 
may  be  sent  through  the  mail;  full  information  on  this  subject  may  be  obtained 
from  the  postmaster. 

Supplies  for  a  Library.  The  Library  Bureau  publishes  a  catalog  entitled 
Card  Catalog  and  Administrative  Outfits  for  Small  Libraries.  This  presents 
suggestive  lists  at  outfit  prices  considerably  lower  than  the  individual  prices 
of  the  several  articles.  Address  Library  Bureau,  Detroit,  Mich.,  for  a  catalog. 

Special  List  of  Books.  At  the  end  of  the  general  list  of  books,  there  is  a 
list  of  references  helpful  to  those  interested  in  the  present  war  crisis.  It  has 
been  reprinted  through  the  kindness  of  the  Review  of  Reviews  Co. 

MARY  C.  SPENCER, 

State  Librarian. 
FRED  L.  KEELER, 

Supt.  of  Public  Instruction. 


BOOKS   FOR  REFERENCE  AND   TEACHERS'   LIBRARIES 


The  teacher  may  secure  many  public  documents  for  the  asking.  These 
include  national,  state  and  city  publications  and  often  help  out  the  work 
in  geography,  history,  geology,  natural  history,  physics,  chemistry,  biology 
and  education.  U.  S.  Goverment  documents  in  small  libraries,  by  Wyer, 
published  by  the  A.  L.  A.  for  lOc  will  be  of  great  value  in  selecting  them. 

The  Encyclopedia  Brittanica,  the  New  international  encyclopedia  and  the 
Century  dictionary  and  encyclopedia  have  not  been  included  on  account 
of  cost.  A  new  edition  of  the  International  is  announced  for  1915  and  the 
llth  ed.  of  the  Brittanica  was  published  in  1911.  Further  information  will 
be  furnished  upon  request  to  the  State  library.

Its  genesis,  adoption  by  the  church,  development  through  organiza-

in  a  scholarly  yet  practical  manner,  and  from  the  layman's  stand- 
point. A  chapter  is  given  to  the  Religious  education  association, 
of  which  the  author  is  general  secretary.  His  arguments  for  the 
graded  school  are  convincing,  and  the  book  gives  the  feeling  that

Though  the  book  states  many  hard  problems,  it  faces  them  in  a 
a  buoyant  helpfulness  and  leaves  us  with  a  feeling  that  we  ought

Price 

The  experiences  of  a  Boston  clerk  who  is  discharged  at  thirty- 
eight,  and  having  no  other  resources,  turns  day  laborer.  Through 
his  quick  wit,  his  perfect  health,  the  cooperation  of  a  wonderfully 
capable  wife  and  the  opportunities  offered  by  night  schools  and 
libraries,  in  less  than  four  years  he  is  a  fairly  successful  contractor, 
with  a  greater  success  obviously  to  come.  Whether  founded  on 
personal  experience  or  not,  the  narrative  is  of  extreme  interest 
because  of  its  detailed  study  of  actual  conditions  and  of  value  for 
its  suggestiveness.  Partly  published  in  the  Saturday  Evening

Coolidge,  M.  E.  B.  R.  S.    Why  women  are  so.     Holt 1 .27 

A  fearless  discussion  of  the  modern  woman,  her  inheritance,  her 
present  and  her  more  promising  future.  The  eighteenth  and 
nineteenth-century  woman-feminine  not  womanly,  lacking  in 
originality  and  initiative  and  wrongly  trained  and  educated — is 
keenly  analyzed  and  compared  with  the  highest  type  of  woman 
today,  with  her  clear  conception  of  woman's  privilege  and  duty. 
Though  many  readers  will  not  concur  with  some  of  the  author's 
generalizations,  the  book  has  the  right  ring  and  a  clear-sighted 
grasp  of  life's  values  and  problems. — A.  L.  A.

Long,  W.  J.    American  literature.     Ginn 1 . 14 

A  fresh,  inspirational  treatment  in  which  the  distinguishing  feature 
is  the  emphasis  placed  upon  literature  as  an  expression  of  the 
national  spirit.  Very  full  on  colonial  and  revolutionary  literature 
with  little  attention  to  recent  writers.  The  biographical  sketches, 
summaries  of  events,  extensive  bibliographies,  supplementary

An  excellent  history  covering  the  whole  of  English  literature  from

large  amount  of  space  to  Anglo-Saxon  and  Middle  English  writers. 
The  treatment  is  fresh  and  suggestive;  the  arrangement,  with  its 
individual  biographies,  summaries  of  events  and  chronological 
tables,  makes  the  work  useful  for  reference ;  much  helpful  material 
for  study  and  teaching  is  given  in  the  form  of  bibliographies, 
supplementary  reading  and  suggestive  questions,  and  the  illustra- 
tions are  notable  for  variety  and  interest.  Rather  advanced  for

about  the  soul  of  our  people.  One  who  reads  this  book  should  put 
himself  in  the  attitude  of  a  foreigner  who  is  trying  to  understand 
America.  If  we  do  not  feel  that  we  know  much  about  our  own 
country,  we  shall  find  it  most  inspiring  to  read  what  he  says  about 
the  self-reliance,  the  fair  play,  the  will  power  and  the  social  co-  -

customs,  the  game  of  the  far  West,  snatches  of  coast  Indian  jargon, 
and  descriptions  of  the  country  as  far  east  as  Salt  Lake.  A  post- 
script tells  of  Adams  death  in  1858.  "More  exciting  than  most  dime

subject  in  a  fresh,  unique  way.  The  story  portrays  the  events  of  his 
early  days  and  the  narrative  of  his  friendships;  his  home  life;  his 
training  as  a  surveyor;  his  youthful  career  as  Colonel  Washington  in

the  standpoint  of  one  who  thinks  that  aspirations  for  peace  threaten 
to  poison  the  soil  upon  which  the  German  people  live.

Harper's  monthly  magazine.    N.  Y 4 . 00 

Ranks  with  the  Century  and  Scribner's  as  an  excellent  general 
magazine,  and  has  about  the  same  general  scope,  dealing  more  with 
travel  and  popular  science  and  rather  less  with  history,  biography 
and  general  literary  criticism  than  the  Century.  The  short  stories 
are  good  and  the  serials  usually  appear  later  in  book  form.  The 
illustrations  are  very  good.  The  color  plates  have  improved  greatly 
in  the  past  few  years.  Complete  bound  sets  of  Harper's  are  com- 
mon and  cheap  but  a  full  set  is  seldom  necessary  and  requires  at

partments devoted  to  fashions,  fancy  needlework,  house  furnishing 
and  decoration,  the  preparation  and  serving  of  food,  the  care  of 
children  and  the  sick,  and  manners  and  morals — usually  in  the 
form  of  confidential  letters  to  young  men  and  women.  Illustra- 
tions are  not  particularly  valuable  except  those  of  fashions. —

One  of  the  best  known  weeklies  dealing  with  current  events.  Still 
maintains  a  distinctly  religious  tone  though  it  is  practically  free 
from  sectarian  or  theological  bias.  The  regular  numbers  are 
chiefly  devoted  to  discussions  of  social  and  political  matters  with 
one  or  two  literary  articles;  the  monthly  "magazine  numbers" 
contain  more  illustrations,  fiction,  and  more  matter  of  a  general 
literary  character.  The  book  reviews  are  generally  fair  but  rather 
colorless,  especially  the  briefer  ones.  The  editorials  are  always 
worthy  of  attention  but  within  the  last  four  or  five  years  have 
become  known  as  the  expression  of  the  personalities  of  the  leading 
editors  rather  than  impartial  discussions.  Shares  with  the  In- 
dependent the  distinction  of  being  one  of  the  most  timely  reference 
aids  on  current  questions.
